CAS-003 · Question #323

Which of the following is the GREATEST security concern with respect to BYOD?

The correct answer is D. The migration of data into and out of the network in an uncontrolled manner. The primary security concern with BYOD is that personal, unmanaged devices allow corporate data to move into and out of the network without organizational oversight or control.

Why each option

The primary security concern with BYOD is that personal, unmanaged devices allow corporate data to move into and out of the network without organizational oversight or control.

AThe filtering of sensitive data out of data flows at geographic boundaries.

Filtering sensitive data at geographic boundaries is a data residency and sovereignty concern that applies broadly to network and cloud architecture design, not a security issue specific to the BYOD model.

BRemoving potential bottlenecks in data transmission paths.

Removing bottlenecks in data transmission paths is a network performance and capacity planning concern, not a security risk introduced by BYOD.

CThe transfer of corporate data onto mobile corporate devices.

The transfer of corporate data onto managed corporate mobile devices represents a controlled, policy-governed operation; corporate devices are enrolled in MDM and subject to organizational security controls unlike personal BYOD devices.

DThe migration of data into and out of the network in an uncontrolled manner.Correct

BYOD devices are personal property and often lack enforced data loss prevention, MDM policies, or access controls, which means corporate data can freely migrate off the network through personal cloud storage, messaging apps, or unsanctioned channels - creating an uncontrolled data exfiltration risk that is the defining security challenge of BYOD.
